Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris based artists, who began exhibiting their art publicly in the 1860s. The name of the movement is derived from the title of a Claude Monet painting, called Impression, Sunrise

3Impression - Sunrise 4Impressionist artists felt the new technology of Photography was ruining the art of painting. They felt the need to create a new style of painting in which accurate rendering of the subject was not the main focus. 5The Impressionists changed the approach to painting, by recreating the sensation in the eye that views the subject, rather than recreating the subject. 6The public, at first hated the paintings, then gradually came to believe that the Impressionists had captured a fresh and original vision. The art critics of that time, continued to disapprove calling the paintings unfinished sketches. 7Characteristics of Impressionist painting include

The optical mixing of colors occurs in the eye of the viewer. 48(No Transcript) 49The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attention is paid to the reflection of colors from object to object. 50(No Transcript) 51Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complimentary colors. In pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided. 52(No Transcript) 53In paintings made en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the sky as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness and openness that was not captured in painting previously. (Blue shadows on snow inspired the technique.) 54(No Transcript) 55Impressionism became the birth of Modern Art. All of the major art movements which would follow, including Post Impressionism, Fauvism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art owe their beginnings to Impressionism. 56
